Gerade eine schöne Meinung von @afelia@chaos.social im Radio gehört, die ich als Beitrag zum #Freudiverse hier teilen möchte.
Kolumne: Aufmerksamkeit gewinnen – Politik muss populistischer werden
Replying to
@kladtiator@mastodon.social Die Aussage des letzten Satzes ist eine, die ich an geeigneter Stelle gerne, unterschiedlich formuliert, auch gegenüber Halbfremden unterbringe, wenn für mich erkennbar ist, dass wir den reinen Smalltalk verlassen. Ich habe noch nie Zustimmung bekommen. Für mich ist das offensichtlich. Es scheint mir, für viele andere nicht.
Man muss auch nicht die Enteignung Überreicher oder die Einführung einer sozialistischen Diktatur fordern um aus der Feststellung, dass die Ungleichheit in der Verteilung des Vermögens übertriebene Maßstäbe angenommen hat und sich weiter in die selbe Richtung entwickelt, abzuleiten, dass mit politischen Entscheidungen eine fairere Verteilung erreicht werden könnte. Die Reaktionen von Kollegen, Kunden und entfernten Nachbarn kommt mir aber immer so vor, als wollten sie das Thema tunlichst meiden so wie ich auf gewisse extreme oder extremistische Aussagen anderer nicht eingehen möchte, wenn ich gerade nicht auf Konfrontation oder groß Debattieren aus bin. So fühle ich mich dann meist, als hätte ich eine populistische Aussage getroffen, die eine ernsthafte Antwort nicht verdient oder das Weiterreden über das Thema erübrigt.

@RickiTarr I have a light switch in my house that turns on a light on the outside on the other side of the house. Guests sometimes switch it on and off a bunch of times before they accept that it's not going to turn on the light in the room they're standing in.
I wonder if it ever happened that somebody who was just passing the house stopped to try to decipher what the light signals could mean. Is there somebody trapped inside? Should I ring the bell? should I call the police? If it happened, so far everybody seems to have decided to pretend they didn't notice it.

@CppGuy@infosec.space There is another route that may not be as simple as deciding to to it. But I thought I mention it because it works well for me: Redefine acceptable. I still like my Core2 Duo laptop. Everything is up to date and LUKS works fine, too. I'll probably switch to a second generation Core i5 soon. And I will love the speed and wonder how I managed to get by before for sure. But so far I'm still happy with it the old one.
Edit: I should mention that I already use the i5 sometimes when I need the extra RAM, e.g. for compiling some things. @millihertz@oldbytes.space

@CppGuy@infosec.space 5 MB/s is more than 80 times of what USB 2.0 can theoretically manage. That is very acceptable to me. I shouldn't admit that I don't have my home directory encrypted. So I won't. @millihertz@oldbytes.space

@cell@shitposter.world It's my new "everything just plays" player. #VLC doesn't, even though that's still what it is known for with many people. So, thanks from me as well, for making it simple and for some unusual decisions.
Replying to
@jeffowski@mastodon.world Is it a choice? Or can it be at least? I could quit my job and see what happens with my life. But that doesn't seem like a good idea.

@hobbypaedagoge@mastodon.pnpde.social Ich bin da gar nicht in der Materie. Aber ich hätte einen Anti-Tipp weiterzugeben. Warhammer-Läden haben manchmal (oft? immer?) kostenlose Figuren zum Ausprobieren. Da kann man auch mehr als ein mal hingehen und sich unentschlossen umgucken bis man was geschenkt bekommt. Das hatte ich mal als Tipp für einen Einsteiger gelesen. Kann man machen. Aber ich rate eher davon ab, wenn man sich nicht gleichzeitig bewusst macht, dass das Warhammer-Figuren-Universum ein ungemein hungriger Geldfresser ist. Ungeheuerlich teure Preise und es gibt immer etwas, das man sich als nächstes besorgen muss, weil das dann ja dazu gehört. Wenn man tatsächlich damit spielt ist es bestimmt noch viel schlimmer mit dem Geldschlucken.

@kaia@pleroma.soykaf.com It sort of exists. But it's cluttered with a lot of waste and malicious #web sites and obstructed by search engines that don't surface the stuff that I'd like to find with them.
In creating this alternative internet (call it #SmallWeb or whatever) we also have to take care of making it findable.
Creating blogrolls and directories, using inline links and link lists as much as possible, sharing OPML files and posting about interesting or important pages is good. But it doesn't help very much in the scenario where someone is using a search engine that seems to almost entirely ignore those indicators of valuable content.
So for me the main question currently is: How do we (/I) support alternative #SearchEngines? Or do we have to make us stop using them like we have to abstain from using #BigTech products?

Glad to see ddrescue is still being improved in 2026. Great and helpful simple to use tool. It goes so well together with bad optical disks.
I want to whine about hard drive prices but I don't want to be somebody who whines about hard drive prices.
But still: The most affordable drives nowadays seem to be used SAS drives between 6 and 10 TB. But I don't want a NAS that uses twice the power, produces twice the heat and is probably about twice as loud as one with SATA drives.
Or do I, maybe? I could use them for backups where they don't run as much and repurpose my current backup drives for the NAS that I want to build. Or I could just use SAS drives from now on and be one of the cool data hoarders. Not literally though.
I'm disappointed because I thought hard drive prices would always go down over the years and eventually I could afford those new 16, 18, 20 TB drives. But apparently they're still getting more expensive this year and the sweet spot in terms of price/capacity ratio seems to be bought away before or immediately when they hit eBay and the likes.

@jeffowski@mastodon.world Yeah well maybe we shouldn't try to function so well then. (Löl, as if that would be a choice.)

@mattmaison Well, it looks like Feedly enables you to subscribe to other sites that don't provide XML feeds. But yeah, YouTube does have them linked on channel's pages. They're available at https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=…
I think it was YouTube searches I had in my feed reader back then. Or comments. But not channels.

I need more t-shirts that fit me.
Are there FOSS merchandise shops that

- have good quality clothes
- have 6XL t-shirts?

If not: tell me what you'd like to see. Maybe I'll make a few shirts for me and others.

Replying to
@EricAlper@mastodon.social Probably, maybe. In my personal experience it takes a few decades to learn a little bit from those experiences and that newfound knowledge can only be applied in some very specific situations to expedite things a tiny bit. But it feels very good at the moment where the specific task gets done a bit more quickly or easily.
